Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:26.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/26.0 Reproduced on latest Aurora (20131007004003); the files are saved in the same location.

Note: The first time I tried this, the PDF ended up in the home folder whenever I selected e.g. ~/Desktop or ~/Documents from the drop-down menu. If I selected "Other" and navigated to that folder, it ended up in that folder. (Also, the drop-down initially has no folder at all selected, isn't it supposed to have the most recently used one?)

Petruta, I don't think it's connected with PDF Viewer functionality. Moving it back to the Untriaged component for STR. Adrian, please provide exact steps to replicate the issue (including URL of the resource you are trying to print).

It happens with me on this page. Last time I printed to PDF, I had selected the "Documents" folder. Now I click print, Save to File (PDF), select "Desktop" from the dropdown (below where you write the filename), and it asks me whether I want to overwrite the mozilla.pdf file in "Documents".

Related (Duplicate) Bugs: Bug 806357, Bug 845425, Bug 865416, Bug 923041 Bug 923041 seems like the most accurate description from my experience. Bug 845425 concluded that it was a gtk+ issue, not Mozilla issue. See also: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtk+3.0/+bug/1213385 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=888080

Would a workaround be to go straight to the file picker, and not show the drop-down at all?
